IMPROVEMENT IN DOMESTIC BOILERS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 213,036, dated Marchl1, 1879 application filed February 23, 1878.

To all lwhom t may concern:

Be it known that I, SMITH WHITNEY BRAD- LEY, of Cherry Vale, in thecounty of Montgomery and State of Kansas, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Stove Wash- Boilers, of which the'following is aspecification:

The object of my invention is to provide a shield to protect andstrengthen wash-boilers, and prevent the same from being bruised whentilted over the edge of a tub.

The invention consists in a metal plate to be attached to boilers byrivets or solder, and to which the boiler-handle may be attached.

In the accompanying drawings, in which similar letters of referenceindicate like parts, Figure l is an end view of a boiler with my deviceattached thereto and the boiler-handle combined therewith; and Fig. 2 isa vertical across said spine, as shown at E E E, Figs. l and 2, whichform depressions between them. The spine S S makes the shield stronger,and the cross-spines and depressions prevent the boiler from slippingwhen rested on the edge of a tub.

It is known that bail-ears have been made longer than necessary for theattachment of the bail, and also that a short plate provided with a hookhas been applied to the wall of a boiler, and that these devices serve,in some degree, to strengthen the vessels upon which they are used; butit is to be noticed that my attachment extends the whole length of theboiler vertically, and is adapted especially to prevent the buckling77of the sheet metal, and to otherwise protect it.

I claim- The metal shield I) S E, constructed and applied substantiallyas described, in combination with the Wash-boiler.
